Shame about the lens

Author: robert-arnold
I've been using this camera for a few months now and am getting to grips with the excellent range of facilities it offers. It's fine straight out of the box but dipping into the manual (a bit small - I have to put on my reading glasses) reveals a very adaptable and versatile system.
However, how a company like Canon had the gall to include such a poor lens is beyond comprehension. The barrel distortion is truly breathtaking and it can't even maintain an approximate focus across zoom settings.
So get the camera, you're unlikely to be disappointed in the body, but put a better lens on your wish-list!

  • Canon EOS 1000D / Digital Rebel XS review The 1000D is a pretty convincing response to offerings from Nikon and Sony doing everything it needs to and doing it well. It can produce great images at any of its ISO settings and, viewed as a whole, makes a great first DSLR. It doesn't stand out from the competition as much as it did in previous years - but it still does! originally on: DP R. | Read full review
